Phone bad for brain?

[Lupe]

I've heard that cell phone is bad for brain because of electromagnetic waves. Is that true and is a home phone bad for the brain as well? What about computer? Is electromagnetic waves something one should worry about?

There is evidence of EMF causing DNA and brain damage, but I think it has to be very intense, long term exposure.

I doubt your cell phone or home computer would do much harm unless you talk 24/7 every day for your entire life.

There is no evidence that the amount of electromagnatic waves from a cell phone is really harmful.

The placebo effect from believing that the cell phone damages you is probably much more harmful than the actual cell phone use.
Worry about whether fear damages you, not about something like a cell phone.

yes.. I think it's normal as long as ya use it normally!

Well...there is this Sweidsh study Swedish Study Finds Cell Phone-Brain Tumor Link Though they do say they need more data.

Using a wired handsfree will probably help (not bluetooth), as then you won't be holding the phone to your head all the time.

That said, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
